This 1946 aerial photo, used to produce
early maps, by chance caught three log booms
waiting to be towed to the sawmill. The photo was probably taken in
late spring or early summer. Logs were dumped
on the lake over the winter. The upper-most boom is actually moored
on its north end to an island. Sunrise Lake is just off to the
southwest.

Gillies Bros. (one of
the famed square-timber cutters in the 1800s) built a sawmill on
Cassels the year before. It closed in 1957, but was not taken down
for many years. It stood where the public landing is now.
